    Ok fair enough. I am not familiar with the American academic legal system. I do not appreciate being likened to the “Rogan crowd”.
    The fact about it being a professional qualification rather than an academic one stands, then, I take it?

      Is English not your first language?

      The JD is a doctorate level degree granted by law schools, and American law schools only accept people who already have a bachelor’s level education at a minimum. Like I said in my other comment, the bar exam is the exam people with JD degrees can take to become licensed attorneys. their membership in the Bar Association is their professional qualification.
